[LAU] ams-lv2 1.0.2 and a tutorial

[Paul Davis]

The point of Aurelien's work is to create a set of plugins that can be
interconnected together in arbitrary ways. Those connections consist of two
types of data: audio and control voltage. The control voltage part is
important.

VST has no concept of "control voltage". Even if you find a host that
allows arbitrary connections between plugins, it will not have any way to
support control voltage data connections.

This will completely break almost every idea at the heart of AMS and
Aurelien's LV2 plugins.

VST, like most plugin APIs, only really knows about audio and MIDI. AMS
does not fit into that paradigm, in the same way that no self-respecting
hardware modular synthesizer lets you patch MIDI from module. They may
support MIDI I/O, but the main data that flows around between modules is
control voltage.
